Two Chairs No Waiting

Do you ever have conversations with fellow Andy Griffith Show fans that ONLY another fan would understand or enjoy? Well, I do and I ran across one such exchange recently and I believe it will be something that you, as a Mayberry fan, will enjoy hearing about.

The conversation you’ll hear about was between The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club (TAGSRWC) Presiding Goober Jim Clark, the members of The Schumpsters, The Mayberry Texans, and Mother Figure chapters.

We also hear from some listeners about episode #66. We’d love to hear from you, too so…don’t forget to leave comments or ask questions on the Mayberry.com/podcasts website or using the contact information given in the podcast. We’d love to have you be a part of our next feedback episode.

The final part of the interview with the owners and operators of The Taylor Home Inn, Dave & Marsha Scheuermann. These folks are true Mayberry citizens. I believe you can tell from the four parts of their interview that they enjoy sharing the experience with fellow Mayberry fans as visitors enter their home.

We all look for Mayberry in our lives and the Scheuermann’s are lucky enough to have those seekers of the Mayberry spirit searching out their inn.

Have you heard of The Taylor Home Inn?  It’s a bed and breakfast located near Clear Lake, WI owned and operated by fans of The Andy Griffith Show Dave & Marsha Scheuermann.  They invite folks to step back in time for a visit to Andy Taylor’s home.

You will not believe how much the fireplace looks like Andy Taylor’s.  That alone is enough to make the trip but there is so much more.  We find out how they met and what drove them to build and share this wonderful home with others in part 1 of our interview.

Welcome to Two Chairs No Waiting.  I want thank Allan for allowing me the chance to host the show! I have a few stories to share with you about some things that happened to me in Mayberry over the years.  These are fun memories NOW but at the time they happened, well, they’re bitter sweet memories that hopefully you can learn from and enjoy.

Be sure to drop by Floyd’s Barber Shop for all your barbering needs and for more stories like these. For a tip, I *won’t* tell you the stories…ha ha..

Also, please remember to leave comments about the show so Allan will know if you enjoyed the episode.

Thank you for listening!

Welcome to part two of our two part interview with the owner of The Snappy Lunch, Mr. Charles Dowell.

The focus of this episode is the world famous Pork Chop Sandwich and where the idea for serving it came from. As I’ve said before, if you’re ever in Mt. Airy be sure to have a pork chop sandwich “all the way” because, as Andy might say, “They’re gooooood!”

Recorded in April 1998 in the back room of The Snappy Lunch so you’ll here dishes, pots and pans knocking against one another as the workers get orders ready.

I want to thank you for listening.  Tell your Mayberry friends about the podcast if you are enjoying them.  And don’t forget to leave comments or ask some questions at Mayberry.com/podcasts or by using the contact information given in the podcast.

We’ve had folks asking about the folks that live in Mt. Airy, Andy’s real hometown,  and interviewing them. The last two episodes were an interview I did with Russell Hiatt from over at Floyd’s Barbershop so I felt like it was very fitting to continue the theme this week with Charles Dowell.

Charles is the owner of The Snappy Lunch and the creator of the world famous Pork Chop Sandwich.  All kinds of famous people have visited The Snappy Lunch.  Charles is a fixture in Mt. Airy and offers a personal view of the town and the people who live in and visit Mt. Airy.

The interview was recorded in April 1998 in the back room of The Snappy Lunch there are dishes hitting each other and folks getting orders ready that can be heard in the background.

(NOTE: Sorry for those that got the garbled version of the audio on this episode.  I made an uploading mistake on the MP3 file. It should be correct now. -Allan)

This interview was recorded on April 24, 1998 when Jan and I took a trip up to Mt. Airy for a visit.

One big memory of this trip was watching my son who was born in December 1996 get his first haircut. Russell is the person who did that first haircut for Adam and he even has a certificate from Russell testifing to the fact of that first haircut.

This is the conclusion of our two part interview with Russell Hiatt who is owner of Floyd’s City Barber Shop in Andy Griffith’s hometown of Mt. Airy, NC.

Russell tells us about some of the things in Mt. Airy that talked about on The Andy Griffith Show. People come from all over the country to sit in the barber chair and visit with Russell.

You requested interviews with some of the good people from Mt. Airy, NC.  For those that might not know, Mt. Airy is Andy Griffith’s home town and home to Mayberry Days the last full weekend of September each year.

In the episode you’ll be hearing an interview I did with Russell Hiatt. Russell is the owner of Floyd’s City Barbershop located right next door to the Snappy Lunch on Main Street in Mt. Airy.  Russell *is* “Floyd” to those that visit Mt. Airy and he is a wonderful friend to all who know him.

The interview was recorded on April 24, 1998 in the back room of the barbershop so there’s a good bit of conversation in the background but I know you’ll find it worth listening.
